Increase Your Control

Now you have a choice. If you’re looking for advanced capabilities in a stand-alone controller, it's hard to beat the great value of the PAR+ES. If the precision of a Rain Bird® Central Control System is what you’re after, the PAR+ES can also deliver. By simply adding a module to your PAR+ES controller, you’ll be ready for the most advanced irrigation management on the market. Either way, the PAR+ES offers a broad choice of options with easy, flexible expansion.

Modular Configuration Allows Easy Expansion

The PAR+ES base configuration of 16 stations can be easily upgraded in 8-station increments. By simply plugging in an 8-station Output Station Module (OSM) you can expand your PAR+ES controller capabilities to accommodate 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, or 72 stations. Upgrading the PAR+ES costs less and reduces the need for additional controllers.

Universal Performance Simplifies Installation and Operation

The intuitive PAR+ES controller reduces installation and training hassles with its many universal features. For quick electrical hookups, the system automatically senses and adjusts for either a 50 or 60 Hz current; while one (1) transformer accommodates 100V/120V, 220V or 230V/240V with the flip of a switch. The PAR+ES controller also displays system activities and accepts user input in eight (8) different languages. The icon-driven controls and multilingual display eliminate confusion and translation problems.

Purchase the Appropriate Performance

The PAR+ES controller offers superior design and installation flexibility. Mix and match with other controllers and with any Rain Bird Central Control System. The PAR+ES controller is available in 16, 32 and 56 station base models and as 2-wire and wireless (LINK) satellite. If more stations are required, you can simply purchase additional 8-station, plug-in OSMs for up to 72 stations per controller. Pedestals will stand up to years of inclement weather and hard use.

The flexible PAR+ES can be ordered in the following configurations:

• PAR+ES standalone controller in a plastic pedestal.
• PAR+ES satellite with two-wire module in a plastic pedestal.
• PAR+ES satellite with LINK (wireless) module in plastic pedestal (LINK module must be ordered separately).
